| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time | comment |
A book in the so-called Star Trek Novel 'Verse (and one of the novels that provided its foundation, actually). It presents the Back Story of Elim Garak, of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Of course, it is completely and utterly true. All of it. Even the lies. Especially the lies.From the back cover:Considered an honorary part of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch, it is one of the most popular Star Trek novels around. Part of its appeal is its being written by Andrew J Robinson, the actor who played Garak.In Summer 2023, the novel was finally adapted into an unabridged audiobook narrated by Robinson himself. | |

Villain Team-Up | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_169d22e6 | comment |
Villain Team-Up: In addition to Tain's rivalry with Romulan Proconsul Merrok, this is the other motive behind Tain ordering Garak to assassinate the Romulan politico. The Star Empire and the Cardassian Union are exploring a potential alliance (including the exchange of advanced cloaking technology the Cardassians want very badly). However, Merrok keeps sabotaging the negotiations. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: The novel is presented as a letter from Garak to Bashir. As it's Garak, we should probably be somewhat wary of his first-person recollections. However, despite that valid point, it's presented as Garak seeking to get a lot of his personal baggage off his chest, with the passive assistance of the one man he probably trusts the most. So he's quite possibly being the most honest we've ever seen him. At the very least, his religious and philosophical insights are almost certainly truthful, even if some of the historical background might be a bit uncertain. Partway through another re-telling of the "Bajoran transport" story that he'd related during "The Wire", Garak breaks off, stating internally that "the stories" were beginning to blur together—suggesting this version of the story might not be the whole truth either. | |

Wicked Cultured: Garak's opinion of Gul Madred, which is why he always liked him despite his longtime disdain for the Cardassian military. Garak also has the same opinion of Proconsul Merrok, leaving him conflicted about his impending assassination — until Merrok's racism comes out. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: The reason for Nal Dejar's presence at the Directorate meeting isn't clear. Was she a full-blown member, or merely there as a caretaker for Pythas Lok? She never speaks at the meeting, nor is she asked directly for her input, but her Obsidian Order past likely made her more secretive, so either is possible. If the former, did she and Pythas leave the Directorate together? (It seems likely.) If the latter, what was her opinion of the Directorate, both before and after Pythas quit the Directorate? | |

Ironic Echo | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: "You're always welcome..." The closing line of the novel, addressed to Bashir by Garak, this is the same line given to Garak by Astraea, the leader of the Oralian faith. Its use at the end therefore signifies the genuine spiritual confidence behind Garak's invite, and suggests he has truly found a sense of peace within himself, at least on some level. He is "opening up" to Bashir, implicitly with genuine eagerness to make a connection. This represents considerable Character Development. It's ironic in that Garak, a "night person" is echoing Astraea, vessel of the light. In the TV series, Garak would often say "There's hope for you yet" whenever an idealistic character (usually Bashir) showed signs of pragmatism or suspicion, especially regarding him. In the present day, he works with the idealistic Dr. Parmak, who hopes to improve Cardassian society. Garak's reaction to finding such idealism among his own people? "Perhaps there's hope for us yet." | |

Mask of Power | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_258a45dd | comment |
Mask of Power: This is the first appearance of the Oralian Way, a Cardassian religion featuring masks in its rituals and ceremonies. The masks channel a being's spiritual power, even allowing a priestess to serve as a vessel for Oralius, the guiding spirit. The masks became important in Star Trek: The Lost Era. | |

False Flag Operation | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_2dddd99d | comment |
False Flag Operation: The assassination of Lokar Barkan was intended by Tain to be this. Garak was supposed to go to Bajor and link up with a double agent in the Resistance. They would then kill Lokar and make it look like the work of the Resistance (thereby removing his most dangerous political enemy with none of the wiser about the Obsidian Order's role). Unfortunately, this plan goes out the airlock after Garak gets captured by Lokar and kills him while in custody. | |

War Is Glorious: The Directorate, a reactionary militant movement opposed to democratic reform, still believe this. Most of the Cardassian population now think differently, and the Directorate are unable to truly rally support. They are therefore forced into accepting the proposed elections, forming a reluctant part of the new government. | |

Death of the Author: In-universe. Garak's building of the structures out of the remains of Enabran Tain's house doesn't have any meaning to him at first, but Dr. Parmak and others see it as him building memorials to the fallen. Eventually Garak accepts this interpretation and continues his work along those lines. | |

The Atoner | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_4ef92d0b | comment |
The Atoner: Garak, who has finally realized the evils of My Country, Right or Wrong and acknowledges his role in promoting these attitudes.note "Fear and isolation, Doctor. You can't have one without the other. Fear isolates and isolation is fear's natural home. Just as my orchids need carefully prepared soil to protect them against disease and pests, fear needs the isolated circumstances to deepen and grow without connective or relational interference. When fear is allowed to flourish in its dark and lonely medium, then any evil that can be conceived by the fearful imagination will emerge. The death toll rises every day. We are now over the one billion mark. This is a numbing, dry statistic. I'm certain that when you read this, Doctor, you will have a disturbed reaction. Others will rationalize that the figure is commensurate with Cardassian complicity. And a third group will simply shrug: it's not their problem. My reaction would probably have been a combination of the latter two. Like most people, I want to get on with the business of my life and what's done is done and doesn't warrant any further loss of sleep or appetite. Our med unit has been converted into a burial unit. It's a logical progression; the survivors have all been accounted for and only the dead remain unclaimed. More immediate, of course, is the potential for decaying corpses to spread disease. So every day now I am engaged in the hardest work of my life; I find that nothing has prepared me for this. My feelings are spent, my moral rationalizations are empty, and I can't say it's not my problem when I'm pulling and lifting and throwing bodies of people who once only wanted to go about the business of their lives. A Federation official suggested that we simply vaporize all corpses. Underneath the suggestion was the judgment that our burial customs are archaic and morbid. At first I became angry and wanted to berate him for his lack of sensitivity as well as for his own culture's morbidity in representing death as sanitary and disassociated from life. But I realized that we were no better. We created technologies that dispensed death efficiently and from a distance; we never took responsibility for our personal actions because we were in the service of a greater good—the Cardassian state. Colonel Kira once told me how many Bajorans died during the Cardassian Occupation, and my mind rejected the figure like a piece of garbage. We'd been in the service of the state, I had told myself, and the state had determined what was necessary. But now I understand why she hated me. More important, I now understand that constant burning, almost insane look in her eyes. Most of us who are left, Doctor, are insane. We have to be in order to survive and emerge from our isolation. It's the only way we can live with the pain of what we did. Or didn't. Each of us accepts the amount of responsibility we are capable of bearing. Some accept nothing, and these people are quickly swallowed by their isolation, their insanity transformed into a rationalized evil. A smaller group accepts total responsibility, and their insanity is an unbearable burden that cripples and eventually grinds them down. The rest of us carry what we can and leave the rest. For myself, Doctor, when a corpse is too heavy to bury I try to remember to ask someone to help me." | |

Mirroring Factions | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_4f6cf75 | comment |
Mirroring Factions: The novel constantly draws parallels between the Cardassians and the other planets and cultures of the galaxy. Romulus and Cardassia are both secretive worlds with active (and rival) espionage organizations and factional in-fighting. Romulus, as Cardassia once was, is a vibrant world full of life, and Cardassia ultimately ends up dark and grey as Romulus is. The drunken Klingon warrior who chases after Garak turns out to share his claustrophobia. Garak and Odo are both the sole members of their races, living in isolation on Deep Space Nine. Garak compares Doctor Parnak to Doctor Bashir as wide-eyed idealists who really should know better but are better for it. | |

Spanner in the Works | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_60194b82 | comment |
Spanner in the Works: The aftermath of Garak's interrogation of Procal Dukat. As Tain observes, Garak has been connected to the incident — though, while a problem, it's not the problem (since the Order expected Procal might recall enough of the interrogation despite his drugging). No, the problem is that Lokar Barkan's identified Garak from Procal's recollection. While he and Skrain Dukat can't prove anything, Garak's now made two very powerful and dangerous enemies — enemies against which he has no leverage to neutralize them (as Procal incriminated himself, but not the rest of the Brotherhood). So, this all complicates Tain's plans for Garak to succeed him as the Order's Director (though the greater complication is that Garak's now made a powerful enemy at the exact same time he's carrying on an extramarital affair with the man's wife). Tain knows Lokar will eventually discover the affair and he'll devote all his energy and resources to destroying Garak, the political consequences be damned. | |

He Knows Too Much: After befriending Dr. Parkmak during the rebuilding of Cardassia, Garak learns that he was actually Tain's personal physician. He and Parmak both speculate Tain had him arrested because, as his doctor, he'd knew too much about Tain's physical weaknesses (though Garak also thinks it was out of petty embarrassment over Tain's longstanding weight problems). | |

If Garak is to be believed, he entered the meeting with the Directorate with the intention of infiltrating them. But as the meeting goes on, he finds himself unable to conjure up the energy necessary for the deception, and eventually decides that even in the role of a Mole, the Directorate is not his place. | |

Badass Pacifist | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_78629e9c | comment |
Badass Pacifist: In the climactic standoff between the Restoration Cadre (a tool of the Directorate to instill fear in the populace) and the civilians of the Reunion Project, the civilians stand between the thugs of the Cadre and Garak's memorials (which were targeted by the Cadre for destruction), not actively fighting back, but 'holding their place'. An early attempt by a young Cadre member at instigating a brawl utterly fails to provoke a response from the members of the Reunion Project, and eventually it's the Cadre members who leave. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: The novel has three distinct timeframes, each of which intercut each other, often tying into each other as the story continues. The timeframes are: Garak's early life (from his early days at the Bamarren Institute to the Cardassian withdrawl and his abandonment on the station); The year before Garak leaves to assist Damar's rebellion (corresponding to roughly the last season of the TV series); and The present, dealing with Cardassia Prime's recovery from the Dominion's wrath. | |

Stealth Expert | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_8dff7e48 | comment |
Stealth Expert: Garak, hence his Obsidian Order identity "Agent Regnar" (a Regnar being a small animal capable of changing colour and texture so as to blend into its surroundings). Garak achieves his stealth through a meditative technique that allows him to "blend" his personal energy signatures into the background energy fields. It's hinted that all Cardassians could in theory learn the technique - if they were paying attention and weren't conditioned into ignoring the deeper realities of life around them. One of the best examples is when the other students are arguing about him next to his bunk, while he's lying on it. One of the students then reaches to open a secret compartment behind the bunk, when Garak suddenly jumps to his feet, startling the student, who was convinced that Garak was elsewhere. | |

Double Consciousness: Young Garak, caught between two cultures; the mainstream disciplined Cardassia promoted by his mother and Enabran Tain, and the Oralian Way represented by Tolan. Garak feels drawn to the latter, but cannot escape entanglement in the former. His attempt to resolve his Double Consciousness will last him the rest of his life. Mila acknowledges the struggle in the quote below, when attempting to keep Garak focused on the realities of modern Cardassia: | |

Odd Friendship: Garak and Dr. Parmak, an elderly physician he once arrested and interrogated during his time with the Obsidian Order. It's even odder when you remember that Dr. Parmak was the man that Garak broke merely by staring at him for hours, an incident mentioned in the series itself—and indeed it's a good long way into the story before Dr. Parmak can look Garak in the eye again. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Enabran Tain is a horrifically poor parent, particularly when his "we are the night people" speech is considered in full. In the framing arc, Garak is finally forced to confront the simple fact that, yes, Tain was a terrible parent. This occurs after Dr. Parmak reacts with horror when hearing how Tain once tried to have Garak killed. The "for the good of the state" arguments just don't hold weight anymore, and Garak's rationalizations are spent. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Dukat would love nothing more than to kill Garak the moment he's exiled to Terok Nor and to and avenge his father's disgrace and death. Unfortunately, thanks to Tain's political influence, Garak's execution was commuted into exile and Dukat's been forbidden from harming Garak. That doesn't mean, however, that he can't make Garak's exile on the station as demeaning and miserable as possible (though Garak wonders if the Tailor punishment was actually Tain's idea rather than Dukat's). | |

My Country, Right or Wrong: Something else strongly encouraged in Cardassian education. However, following the Dominion bombardment of Cardassia Prime, and the horrors of the aftermath, Garak rejects the idea. He also says he finally understands why Kira Nerys hated him (and any other Cardassian with the My Country, Right or Wrong attitude). | |

Aesop Amnesia: Garak's biggest problem with the Directorate is that they've learned exactly nothing from the devastation of the Dominion War. Even though their homeworld is in ruins, millions of soldiers and civilians are dead, and the government can barely feed and shelter the survivors, they still believe in maintaining the old militaristic Cardassian Union. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: We never get to hear the full text of Dr. Parmak's speech, but what we do learn of it later, it's clear he took Garak's advicenote "Don't think like a politician. Think of the planet as a patient barely clinging to life. Think like a doctor. How would you save this planet?" to heart. Further, the speech was so effective it spurred at least one member of the Directorate to outright quit the group, and reached the hearts of at least two other members. | |

Inter-Service Rivalry | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_d54b9eb3 | comment |
Interservice Rivalry: Endemic in the Cardassian Union. Bashir actually makes the point that this is precisely why the Dominion found Cardassia easy pickings - they call themselves a "union" but in fact they weaken their resolve and their ideals constantly, through in-fighting and petty rivalry. Garak's later meeting with the Directorate shows that its members are still engaging in the same in-fighting as before. | |

Training from Hell: The Cardassian children at the Bamarren Institute. It's unclear what age they are - it could really be anything from the equivalent of 12 through to 20. The academy is run as a rather brutal military camp, with extensive physical training and combat. It also utilizes harsh discipline and extensive, often physical, punishment for failure or rule-breaking. | |

When he's captured by Barkan Lokar in the climax of Part Two, Garak deduces from the interrogation (let alone his capture and how Lokar identified him as Procal Dukat's interrogator) that his rival must have a source inside the Obsidian Order (though Garak never learns his or her identity before or after his exile). | |

You Are Number 6 | |
| Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A Stitch in Time / int_ea6f361f | comment |
You Are Number 6: The youths training at the Bamarren Institute are not permitted to use their names; instead they are assigned a group and a number. The number (one to ten) signifies their position within the group, with the lower numbers considered superior. Supposedly, they are numbered according to skill level, but politics and birthright play just as large a role. At the end of each three-year course, the numbers switch, and it is here that lower-born youths with talent can achieve a more deserving position. It's a mix of meritocratic principles and social stratification. | |
